[Q] Problem with MIUI Rom, version 1.12.25

[Callumhughes182]

Hi There,
I'm running the above ROM that I had flashed yesterday, and I had realised today that the ROM hadn't given me root permissions.

I have followed many guides on how to fix this.

One of the main ways was too enable root permissions in SuperUser, but it isn't working as it's not showing that option.

I can't access Recovery Mode or download mode at the moment, even though the ROM is running perfectly other than not been able to use root apps.

I have tried a factory reset so the ROM is back as it was when I first flashed, but I still can't enable root.

I am wondering, is there a way I can flash an MIUI rom without root permission and the ability to access recovery?

If so, could you please point me in the direction of fixing this?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You could try to acces recovery through the ROM Manager app. Are you sure your ROM isn't rooted? Check if you have an app called Superuser installed.

SuperUser only lists applications that have asked for SU permissions. You can't add them manually.

Try running an application that needs SU access (like titanium backup), and see if it throws an error message, or popup that allows it to get SU access.

I've installed Titanium Backup and it says.. Root access: X FAILED.

I can't update my superuser binary files because it can't gain root access.

And yes I do have superuser installed.

I can't get into recovery mode using ROM Manager either.

Is there a way I can reflash a ROM? I do have mobile ODIN.. but it says it doesn't work with the MIUI kernel..

Not much you can do if you don't get access to download mode or recovery.

What you can do if it doesnt work is try the USB Jig that will force your phone into download/recovery mode. They are very cheap on E-bay i've heard

Just brought a jig, I'll keep you posted

Thank you
